Twisted Electrons BlastBeats Groovebox

A uniquely characterful drum machine, based on FM synthesis inspired by early 90s PC soundcards. Six drum voices and four synth parts can be controlled by a built-in step sequencer or MIDI. Supplier's Notes: At the heart of BlastBeats is a vintage FM chip called YMF-262 also known as the OPL3 chip & previously found in computer sound cards of the early 90s. These chips were notoriously hard to program and were rarely used to their full potential. However, they can produce surprisingly rich beautiful and utterly dirty sounds with a bit of exploring... By putting so many parameters within easy reach BlastBeasts makes it fun and easy to master the signature sound of the DOS era! Rhythm & Synth BlastBeats is a 10 voice groove box offering 6 drum voices and 4 synth instruments. The many faders offer full control over the parameters of the instruments and can be automated and modulated per step Beats and melodies are a pleasure to program thanks to the high quality illuminated buttons Dimensions: 29.5cm x 16.5cm x 4.5cm (11.6" x 6.5" x 1.8") Weight 944 g ( 2 lb)
